Songs / music that suddenly goes from calm to intense (1 Viewer)

[E-Z Glider]

Looking for some songs/music suggestions that I can use for some extreme GoPro action movies. Should have a slow buildup that leads to an explosive crescendo. Can be regular songs or instrumentals. No Goldenplane, please.

 

[Jaysus]

You mean, like, Dueling Banjos?

I can probably name a hundred, but one that jumps to mind right away is "New Noise" by Refused.  I always thought it would be a great song to use for such an event (but then the Friday Night Lights movie used it, so you run the risk of being called a copycat.  Not that it ever bothered anyone that used Hendrix' "All Along the Watchtower" or the Stones' "Gimme Shelter.")

Great song.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Metallica has a few of these, "Damage Inc.", "Battery," and "Fight Fire With Fire" come to mind.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

A great instrumental if you want a slow build is "Intro to Reality" from Anthrax.  One layer of instruments over another progressively throughout, almost like singing a round.  Great piece of music.

 

[Waylon Jennings]

Honky Tonk Heros

Jane's Addiction "Ocean Size"

Here's one you could manufacture that takes the end of one song and the beginning of another

Start at 21:41 (or anywhere you like shortly thereafter) and bleed out the end of "This Love" into the beginning of "Rise." At 22:30, all hell breaks loose.

 

[Hu-Tang Clan]

Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins.

 

[wikkidpissah]

The Sun Road - my favorite trio since EL&P

ETA: esp, the section that runs from 8:56 til the end

Sure does.  What a great, great, great song.  The only problem with this is that it would be criminal to cut it off before Navarro absolutely dominates in the latter half of the song with some of the best lead playing I have ever heard.

This is the most along the lines of what Im looking for. Looking for stuff that is a little more alternative/techno and less death-metally (sorry EG).

All suggestions appreciated though, keep em coming.

How could you forget "this love"?

i don't know who you are anymore

Nothing I listed is death-metally but if you want extreme rage, metal is the best place to look.  Refused is not metal at all either.

First one I thought of is Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot.

Sun Hands by Local Natives maybe?

I can't do youtube here at work but some of the older suicidal tendencies songs are like that

RATM - "Bullet In The Head" - pick it up at 3:30

 I do like this one too. The transition from calm to intense at the .44 mark is exactly what Im looking for (just like the .20 mark of Ocean Size). 

 This may not be metal to your standards, but it sure is to me.

Hardcore punk.

 

[Bonzai]

Not sure it gets much better than New Noise for this.

 

[Jaysus]

I am a sucker for banjo crescendos.... Mumford and his Son have dozens: maybe Roll Away Your Stone?

Suppose I phrased that wrong.... looking for songs that very suddenly go from slow and calm to fast and loud. Doesnt necessarily have to be guitar or rage driven.

 

[Mookie]

Ben Harper - So High So Low

 

[Pipes]

Cowboys from Hell

Not super slow intro but this should work

 

[Funkley]

Radiohead - Creep

Oasis - Champagne Supernova

 

[E-Z Glider]

Ben Harper - So High So Low

The transition at the .17 mark is exactly what Im looking for, but what a weird song. Cant really say I like it. 

 

[Sconch]

Radiohead - Creep

Oasis - Champagne Supernova

He said "no death-metal".

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Battery was the first thing that came to my mind.

 

[TakiToki]

Pantera -- This Love

 

[Mr. Ected]

Stylistically, this may not be what you're looking for, but early '80s Rock -

Triumph - Fight the Good Fight. - slow for about first 0:30.

 

[Funkley]

Fine

Fleetwood Mac - Chains

 

[Limp Ditka]

I can probably name a hundred, but one that jumps to mind right away is "New Noise" by Refused.

Was my default ringtone forever.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Tanner's stomping around in here and no mention of The Pixies?

 

[pecorino]

Larks Tongue in Aspic by King Crimson came to mind immediately but many of their songs fit this description. They are masters of dynamics in music.

 

[Bogart]

The Black Keys - Little Black Submarines

Cover song that I have been obsessed with the last few days: Failure - Enjoy The Silence

 

[Scoresman]

Sigur Ros - Glosoli

Buildup begins at 3:48.  Explodes into greatness at 4:40.

Also probably my favorite music video of all time.

 

[hxperson]

Three popular ones off the top of my head:

Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine

Ludovico Einaudi - Nuvole Bianche  

M83 - Un Nouveau Soleil 

 

[wazoo11]

The Wrens - Happy

 

[Limp Ditka]

Sigur Ros - Glosoli

Buildup begins at 3:48.  Explodes into greatness at 4:40.

Also probably my favorite music video of all time.

Listened to this whole album on the train ride into work today.
